Warden Force

<p><strong>This is not a novel</strong>. This book like the other eight books of the <strong><em>WARDEN FORCE</em></strong> series is a collection of short stories all true the fascinating and often harrowing experiences of real game wardens pursuing armed violators in wild and remote places. TV shows such as <strong><em>WILD JUSTICE</em></strong> (National Geographic) <strong><em>NORTH WOODS LAW</em></strong> (Animal Planet) and <strong><em>LONE STAR LAW</em></strong> (Animal Planet) introduced the public to the real-life adventures of game wardens and conservation officers a public hungry for more. And now for readers the <strong><em>WARDEN FORCE</em></strong> series provides the most exhaustive and comprehensive work in literature on this little known and often dangerous profession.</p><p><br></p><p>Award winning author Terry Hodges was himself a California State Fish and Game warden and supervisor/leader of game wardens for over 30 intense years. He writes with the authority possible only by those who have actually lived the life who have actually packed a badge and a gun on behalf of wildlife and battled all manner of wildlife-destroying outlaws.</p><p><br></p><h2>Season 1 contains the first 13 episodes</h2><ol><li><strong>The Midnight Ride of Bonnie and Clyde</strong>: Wardens tangle with a murderous mother-and-son poaching team.</li><li><strong>Night Rider:</strong> A California warden pursues highly dangerous night-poachers of wild pigs.</li><li><strong>Decisions:</strong> Wardens off the coast of Southern California's Catalina Island risk their lives to save the crew of a sinking commercial squid-fishing boat.</li><li><strong>A Second Second Chance:</strong> A California game warden ambushes outlaw catfish fishermen using baby swallows for bait.</li><li><strong>The Collectors:</strong> California wardens take on a nest of Nazi-worshiping weapons-collecting deer poaching outlaws.</li><li><strong>Nothin' Personal:</strong> California wardens track down a thief who steals the head and antlers of another hunter's buck.</li><li><strong>Bottom Feeders:</strong> California wardens go after a band of white-trash sturgeon-poaching hillbillies with attitudes.</li><li><strong>An Outing with Team Taylor:</strong> A California game warden and his family on a short vacation team up to capture antelope bear and steelhead poachers.</li><li><strong>Rookie:</strong> A rookie California game warden gets his first taste of his hazardous new career.</li><li><strong>Grand Trickery:</strong> A California warden employs a magnificent bluff to catch outlaws night-poaching deer.</li><li><strong>Tough Luck on the Little Sur:</strong> California wardens pursue gaunch-hook steelhead poachers.</li><li><strong>Serial Poacher:</strong> Wardens pursue a disturbing and dangerous lone-wolf deer poacher.</li><li><strong>The Vision:</strong> A boy's fondest dream comes true.</li></ol><p><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify>Hodges is a gifted writer able to let you imagine you are right there experiencing the workings of California's game wardens.
